reached with minimum hops on NKN and this gives INFLIBNET an advantage of serving the universities
with good speed and higher data transfer.

As on now, the network is running over managed L3 switches and managed L2 switches with 40 Gbps
ready network with structured cabling, rack, I/Os, jack panels, etc. Dedicated firewall appliance is
purchased with subscription to anti-virus, anti-spam and intrusion detection system. PCs and laptops
used in the Centre are protected against attack and other vulnerability by Gateway level-filtering and
intrusion detection system using Fortinet UTM. User-level antivirus protection is also enabled for end-

user protection. On an average, the INFLIBNET Website and the national union databases attract more
than 15,000 visitors per month.

During the year under report, Centre awarded the contract for supply, installation and commissioning of
one L3 switch for redundancy in HA Mode, eight L2 switches for extension of network services along
with the additional access point to enhance the network and Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the Campus

of INFLIBNET Centre.

2.2. Integration of Data Centre and other IT services

Data Centre established at INFLIBNET Centre is having most robust setup and less prone to failures and
also to host mission critical servers and computer systems, with fully redundant subsystems. All
components are fully fault-tolerant including uplinks, storage, chillers, HVAC systems, servers etc. The

INFLIBENT Centre uses HP Blade System C 3000 Enclosure for hosting Web Services, INFLIBNET
website, Shodhganga, OJAS, N-LIST, InfoPort, e-PG Pathshala, IndCat, DNS server, Intranet server, etc.
IBM Blade Centre S chassis is used for Web co-location services at BSNL, which host mirror sites of
INFLIBNET Centre for the services such as UGC website, N-LIST Proxy Server, Online UGC Scholarship
scheme and other important services.

Building Management System (BMS) integrates the mechanical and electrical equipment used for

various services such as ventilation, lighting, power system, fire system and security system. INFLIBNET
Centre uses HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) for indoor environmental comfort based
on the principle of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, ensuring maximum levels of
efficiency and economy. INFLIBNET Centre uses Honeywell Trend for the BMS Solutions. The
INFLIBNET Centre is using Smart Visitor Management Software for storing data and generating a gate-

pass for visitors.

26 CCTV cameras from M/s. Honeywell are used as Surveillance System by categorizing into three types.
PTZ security cameras allow controlling the Pan, Tilt and zooming operations of the camera lens
remotely or through programming. Other two cameras are Box type’s cameras and Dome type
cameras. All cameras are IP-based, advanced and PoE (Power on Ethernet) enabled. Telephony services
in the Centre are established using IP Telephony system in the Local Area Network itself which is based

on Internet Protocol phones. The INFLIBNET Centre use three different categories of phones i.e.
